Jameson's Innovative Air Boost Add-On
Jameson has made a significant advancement with the introduction of the Air Boost, a pneumatic add-on for its well-respected Fiber Driver. This enhancement aims to provide solutions for challenging fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) installations, making the task easier for professionals in the field. The Air Boost is specifically designed to support installs in high-friction conduit runs, offering added speed and power without the necessity of replacing existing fiber blowing systems.
Enhanced Performance for Tough Installations
The Fiber Driver equipped with the Air Boost is tailored to address one of the greatest obstacles in FTTH work—pushing fiber through conduit systems that consist of multiple bends and height variations. The original Fiber Driver already showcases impressive mechanical performance; however, the Air Boost introduces additional pneumatic force that allows installers to achieve difficult drops more swiftly and with less manual labor.
Feedback from Leadership
Nick Skrobot, the CEO of Jameson, states, "Air Boost was designed for real-world FTTH jobs where traditional hand-pushing fails or stalls. It’s not merely a replacement for fiber blowing systems—it stands as a high-efficiency upgrade that compliments the Fiber Driver, helping teams remain productive on-site." This perspective reaffirms the commitment of Jameson to develop tools that meet real industry needs.
Built for Efficiency in Residential Fiber Drops
The Air Boost was purposefully designed for residential fiber installations rather than lengthy enterprise-scale operations. During practical applications, the Fiber Driver with Air Boost remarkably completed a 200-foot conduit run with four 90-degree bends in a mere 32 seconds, demonstrating its capability to tackle the most challenging installation scenarios while significantly boosting speed and efficacy. Under optimal conditions, the system can propel fiber runs thousands of feet.
Core Features of Air Boost
The following are key features of the Air Boost add-on:
- Compatibility with only the Fiber Driver, not available as a stand-alone tool
- Combines mechanical and pneumatic power for superior performance
- Excels in constrained, friction-heavy conduits with various bends
- Accommodates 10mm–19mm micro ducts and run lengths up to 500 feet or more
- Designed for quick setup, sturdy in-field use, and easy maintenance
- Operates with standard air compressors functioning at 90–175 PSI
- Includes a comprehensive kit with conduit and fiber insert sizes for maximum flexibility
Smart Tools for Enhanced Installations
Jameson’s original Fiber Driver received the Silver ISE Network Innovators Award due to its field-ready concept and transformative impact on FTTH workflows. The additional Air Boost empowers installers with enhanced capabilities to complete fiber runs rapidly, neatly, and with reduced labor demands.
